History PlayingWith / Adminisphere

* '''Double Subverted''': The office adjacent to the warehouse is does not have the luxuries, but the one downtown does.

* '''Defied''': [[BenevolentBoss Bob]] knows that poor working conditions and benefits would hurt morale and work quality, so he finds ways to cut costs ''without'' sacrificing them. He also visits the warehouse every so often unannounced, [[TheInspectorIsComing if necessary]]) to see how things are going, as well as remind himself and anyone with him that management's decisions affect more than just those in the office that they see every day.

** XYZ Inc. only just bought the warehouse from the nearly bankrupt UVW Ltd.

* '''Subverted''': The warehouse has reasonably good and safe working conditions, as does the office.
* '''Double Subverted''': But people in the warehouse earn minimum wage (with few or no raises), and don't get paid vacation time like the office workers do.

* '''Discussed''': "It's beyond unfair that us regular Joes should be basically paying for head office's triple espressos and [[NiceHat crisp black '20s-style fedoras]]."

* '''Exaggerated''': [[DangerousWorkplace The warehouse]] has NoOSHACompliance and [[NoSuchThingAsHR no HR department]] or labor union, while the office is barely like coming to an office at all.

* '''Defied''': [[BenevolentBoss Bob]] knows that poor working conditions and benefits would hurt morale and work quality, so he finds ways to cut costs ''without'' sacrificing them. He also visits the warehouse every so often ([[GenreSavvy unannounced]], [[TheInspectorIsComing if necessary]]) to see how things are going, as well as remind himself and anyone with him that management's decisions affect more than just those in the office that they see every day.

'''Basic Trope''': The higher-ups in a company have it ''much'' better than the people beneath them.

** Managerial office positions are often different (and better-paying) than entry-level work (especially that which involves manual labor of some kind.)

** The office also sees a lot of meetings with outside investors and other potential clients - a cushy office helps grease the wheels to land those big deals that keep the company out of bankruptcy and dissolution.
* '''Inverted''': The office has crumbling walls, [[BeepingComputers ''extremely'' dated computers]], drafty windows, and low pay, while the warehouse is as cushy as Google.

* '''Parodied''': ???

* '''Lampshaded''': A sign on the door to the warehouse reads [[TheDivineComedy "Abandon hope, all ye who enter."]]

* '''Exploited''': ???

* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???

* '''Reconstructed''':

** Someone who normally works in the warehouse gets a chance to see how upper level management works and it's shown that the cushiness of the head office is at least somewhat justified in terms of those perks being necessary in order to operate - for instance, a pleasantly-decorated meeting room helps leave a good impression on potential investors, and it's almost a necessity for there to be a massage parlor when the stress of having to determine whether betting the company on a new product is a worth the risk (with failure meaning bankruptcy and utter ruin for hundreds of workers) can reach unbearable levels. Of course, it's very easy for those who normally work in the Adminisphere to get carried away with those perks and lose touch with those in the warehouse.
